According to Igo Licht, Elta’s vice-president of marketing
and sales, the payload enables quick detection and identification of high
frequency signals, creating an electronic order of battle picture and accurate
geolocation.

Licht says the special antenna installed in the payload
allows it to locate targets and listen to their communications systems.

He adds that the combination of this type of UAV with an HF
COMINT payload is unique, and solves operational problems that armed forces and
law enforcement agencies have in wanting to locate a target by communication
emissions while verifying it by listening to the transmissions.

Licht says the combination of the rotary UAV and the COMINT
payload will create a lot of interest, and there are already some potential
customers for the package.
